The Man who was Satisfied with the Weather. We never knew more than one man who was always satisfied with the weather at all times and under all cir- cumstances. It was Chubb. In sum- mer when the thermometer bolted up among the nineties, Chubb would come ‘to the front door with beads of perspir- ation standing out all over his red face, untll his head looked like a raspberry, and look at the sky and say, “Splendid, perfectly splendid I Noble weather for the washer-women I They don’t shake up any such weather as this in Italy. Gimme my umbrella, Harriet, while I sit out yer on the steps and enjoy it." In the winter when the mercury would creep down 15 0 below zero, and the cold was severe enough to freeze the in- side of the globe, Ohubh would sit on a fence and excl-aim, “ By jingo I did you ever see such weather as this? 1‘ like an atmosphere that freezes up your very marrer. It helps the coal trade and keeps the snakes quiet. Don't talk of summer time to me. Gimme cold, and give it to me stiff.” When there was a drouth, Chubb used to meet us in the street and remark, “ No rain yet I see ; magnificent, ain’t it? I want my weather dry; I want it .with the dampness left out. Moisture breeds fever and ague,‘ and wets your clothes. If there’s anything I despise, it’s to carry an umbrella. No rain for me if you please.” \Vhile it rained for a week and swamped the country, Chubb often dropped in to see us, and observe, “ I dunno how you feel about this yer rain, but it allns seems to me that heaven never drops no blessings but what we have a long wet spell. It makes the corn jump, and cleans the sewers. I wouldn’t give a cent to live in a country where there was no rain. Put me on the Nile, and I'd die in a week. Soak me through and through to the inside of my undershirt, and I feel as if life was bright and beautiful, and sorrow nothing but nonsense.” Chubb was always happy in a thunderâ€" storm. “Put me in a thunderstorm and let the lightning play around me, and I’m at home. I'd rather have one storm that’d tear the inside out of the continent than a thousand years of lit- tle dribblin’, waterin’-pot showers. IfI can’t have a rippin' and a roarin’ storm I don’t want none.” One day Chubb was upon his roof fixing a shingle,when a. tornado struck him, lifted him off, carried him a quarter of a mile, and dashed him with such terrible force against a rail fence that his leg was broken. As they carried him home we met him, and when we asked him how he felt, he opened his eyes and laughâ€" ingly said, “ Immortal powers! what a storm that was. \Vhen it does blow, it suits the senior member of the Chubb family if it blows hard. I’d give both legs if we could have a squall like that every day. I â€"Iâ€"-” Then he fainted. We want Chubb elected President. He is the only man in the universe who doem’t growl at the weather.â€" Maw Adeler. In Australia, the ravages ofthat fatal scourge, diptheria, have been so extensive within the last few years, that the government ofi'ered a large reward for any certain method ol' cure; and among other responses to this, was one by Mr. Greathend, who at first kept his method secret but afterward communicated it freely to the public. It is simply the use of sulphuric acid, of which four drops are diluted in threeâ€"fourths of a tum‘ bler of water, to be administered to a grown person, and a smaller dose to children, at intervals not specified. The result is said to be a coagulation of the diptheric membrane and its ready removal by coughing. It is ssscrted that where the case thus treated has not advanced to a nearly fatal termination, the patient recov- ered in almost every instance. By persistent energy from the hum- blcst beginning, the advertising agen- cy of S. M. l’ctlengill & Go, now stands among the foremost in the country. The business 01' such an agency requires tact and a keen in- sight into all classes of trade. Nowâ€" adays, to succeed, a man must adver tise, he must; let the public know, through the neWspapcrs- what 'his business is and what he has to offer, and the more judiciously this is done, the greater success he will attain. To advertise in a prudent manner is no easy matter to many men; they seem to lack judgment. As a remedy we would direct them to an advertis- ing agency. Here is done that which the business man fails to do for him- self. The agency has the experience which enables it to know where the advertiser can obtain the best medium for his goods, and whether he should advertise in a. lavish or economical manner, in one or five thousand paâ€" pers. To men who wish to make the most of their money this aid is almost invaluable. A more honorable or complete establishment of this kind than that ofS. M. Pettengill & 00., 3'7 Park Row, New York, is not to be found. The house is well known. throughout the country, and has all the necessary facilities for transactâ€" ing business in the most apprOVcd manner. Mr. Pettengill, the head of the firm, is personally fitted for the business. He is a man of strict in- tegrity, possessing most excellent judgment and rare business talents. His succes and popularity throughout the country, with both business men and newspapers, ftu confirm this. He gives personal attention to all cus- tomers and quickly shows them the most popular style in which to make their wares known. Business men Will do well by consulting this firm, for by their long experience and abil- ity they will render mOst efficient and satisfactory aid.~â€"Albany Argus. “Dust to dust," as the little girl said when she shook the contents of her bursted doll-baby’s abdomen into the street.

When too late tlie learned that his Wife had fixed the thing with the old woman. A Boston merchant, who, some twenty-five years ago, Sold two hundred dozen woollen hose to a trader who shortly thereafter failed, was agreeably surprised the other day at receiving $1,000 in gold to liquidate “ that, old time debt." 2' I’llâ€"see you dodrotted first, and thefi I wont, you old brute.” Such are the celestial harmonies uf domestic life. “Our professor (loos wonderful things in surgery," said a young modest student; “he has actually made a new lip for a boy, taken from his cheek.” “Ah, well,” said the old aunt, “many’s the time I have known a. pair taken from mine, and no very painful operation either.” It is stated, as an instance of the late Gerrit Smith's humorous and practical way of reaching results, that on one occasion, when a visitor had outstaid his welcome, and had become a preter- natural nuisance, Mr. Smith in the morning prayed for a. blessing to des- cend upon “ our Visiting brother, who will this day depart from us.” And he departed. , In the Bank of France they have gdt a brick for which they paid 1000 francs in specie. It was taken from the ruins of an old house, and the The London Who’s Who, for 1875: just published, tells us that the oldest member of Queen Victoria’s Privy Council is Lord St. Leonards, aged ninety-four; the youngest, his Royal Highness Prince Leopold, aged twenty- two. The oldest duke is the Duke of Montrose, aged seventy-six ; the young- est, the Duke of Norfolk, aged twenty- eight. The oldest marquis is the Marquis of Tweeddale, aged eighty- eight; the youngest, the Marquis of Camden, aged three. The oldest ear] is the Earl of Leven and Melville, aged eightyâ€"nine; the youngest, the Earl of Norbury, aged twelve; the oldest Vis- count is the Viscount Molesworth, aged eighty-nine,- the youngest, Vis~ count Clil'den, aged twelve. The oldest baron is Lord St. Leonard’s, aged ninety-four; the youngest, Lord Southâ€" ampton, aged eight. 1f we'may believe our foreign eri- tics and commentators, Americans are fair game for artist and artisan, and very easily brought down. The latest joke against us comes from Paris by way of England, and is after the style of Zeuxis, his cheat. A French animal painter, poor in every sence of the word, cast about him desperately for a patron, and, alter total failure, happened to recall the story of‘ the clever Z. He immedia- tely began a deeply pathetic and tragic picture, “The Death of the Poodle,” and every morning took his dog into the studio, and, placing the unhappy creature before the painting administered a stout whipping.

Y., brings back the following gossip from Vassar College :â€"The report that the young ladies slide down hill on boards is untrue. They never use l')oards.-â€"â€"~ The girls are all ver)r good-looking, but they don’t resemble the intellectual fe‘ males of Boston much.â€"The young 1&- dies all read the Boston Globe with commendable regularity. It is usually kept on file, and whenever it disapâ€" pears it is apt to create a great bustle. Distressing accounts continue to come of the famine in Turkey. One missionary writes, “ For the last two weeks I have done nothing else but listen to the heart-rending tales of suf- fering, and distribute aid to the most needy.” In one village of seventy families only thirty now remain, and ten of these are without means of sub- sistence. Forty-five persons died 01 starvation in another village. In still another village of sixty families on]; live or six have any supplies for the future. >â€"It; has been stated that'each young lady consumed 2,500 griddlecakes every morning. This is false. The students en masse eat that numberdail y. This gives an average of six and one- fourth cakes to each girl, or, say forty- f'our per week, 1,364 per" month, or 2,288 per annum. The course of study lasting four years, each fair Vassarian thus gets away with the startling numâ€" ber of 9,152 griddle-cakes in completr ing her education. Miscellaneous Items. Mr. Brasser, who lives on Ninth av- enue, has a son about; twelve years old, named Claudius, and the other evening this boy received permission to allow a ineighbor’s boy to stay all night; with ghim. The old people sleep down-stairs gin the sitting-room, and the boys were put; him a room directly above. When they went up to bed Claudius had the clothes line under his coat, and the neighbor’s boy had a mask in his pock- et. They didn’t kneel down and say their prayers like good boys, and then jinn}: into bed and tell hear stories, but as; 80011 as the door was locked young | lSrasser remarked : 'How the Boys Served Mr. Brasser. “You’ll see more fun around here to-night than will lie on a. tenacre lot. “ Theodorius Brasser, you are a. fool I” screamed the wife, as he monopolized all the bed-clothes to cover up his head. The vendor of tickets accepted the accuracy of the averment, and hand ed her the proper certificates for ad- mission. But it; was a clorse fitâ€"Har- per’s. From a closet they hrought a cast will suit (:I'Brasger's clothes, and, stuffing them with whatever came handy, they tied the mask and an old straw hat on for a head, and while one boy was careâ€" fully raising the window, the other was tying the clothes line round the " man.” The image was lowered down in front of the sittingâ€"room window, lifted up and down once or twice, and Brasser was heard to leap out of bed with a greatjar. He was just beginning to doze when he heard sounds under his window, and his wife suggested that it was a cow in the yard. He got up and pulled away the window-curtain, and when he beheld a man standing there he shouted out ; “ Great botfles I but it’s a robber and he jumped into bed. “Don’t you call me ajade 1" she re- plied, reaching over and trying to find his hair, “ Git up and git the gun and blow his head off!" “ Oh ! you do it I” “ Grit up, you old coward,” she snapped. “I’ll never live with you another day if you don’t do it !" Brasser turned up the lamp, sat up in bed, and cried out : “ Is that you, boys 1” “Mercy on me ! git up 1" yelled the Wife, as the straw man was knocked against the window. you I” she replied “ Well," replied Miss May, “ this is his tenth birthday; but he was not born until late in the afternoon.” “ Be quiet, you old jade, you !” he whispered; “ perhaps he’ll go away I” “ I’ll blow his head ofl as clean as milk !" said Brasser in a loud voice, as he got up. He struck the stove three or four times, upset a chair, and reached behind the foot of the bed and drew out; an old army musket. The man was there, face close to the glass, and he had such a malignant ex- pression of countenance that Brasser jumped back with a cry of alarm. “A guilty conscience needs no ac- cuser." “ Now see what an old cundurango you made, of yourself I" And the boys kicked around on the bed, chucked each other in the ribs and cried : “ I’d rather be a boy than be Presi- dent l”-â€"Detroit Free Press. The following instance of youthful exactness comes to us from a. iriend in Hingham, Mass, where it recently occurred : An exhibition was glven here some two months since by Tom Thumb, at which the prices were twentyJive cents for those over ten years of age and twelve and a half cents for those under. It was Johnny’s tenth birthday and his cousin May, aged thirteen, thought it her duty to celebrate it by taking him in the afternoon to see the dwarf Arriving‘at the door she put down thirtyâ€"eight cents, and asked for two tickets. “ How old is the boy ?" asked the ticket-seller. “ Kill him ! Shoot him down, you old noodleliead I” screamed the wife. The boys up stairs uttered a yell and a groan, and Bramer jumped for the window to see if the 1mm was down. He wasn’t, He stood right there, and he made a leap at Brusser. “Poâ€"leecel Po-leece 1” now came from the boys up stairs, and while one continued to shout the other drew the man up, tore him limb from limb and secreted the pieces. Several neighbors were aroused, an officer came up from the station, and a search of the promises was made. Not so much as a track in the snow was found, and the officer put on an injured look and said to Mr. Brasser; “ Now, then, for blood I" he cuntin- ued, as he advanced to the window and lifted the curtain. “ He’s coming inâ€"perliceâ€"boysâ€" ho ! perlice l” roared the old man. lice I" he replied, wolloping the 311566- iron stove with the poker. “Don’t you dare talk that way to me I” shrieked the old woman, recover- ing: from her desire to faint}. “ That’s so I” chorused the indignant neighbors as they departed. As Mr. Brasser hung a quilt before the shattered window he remarked to his wife : “ Don't fling any insults at me, or I’ll choke the attenuated life out 01 “‘I willâ€"~by thunder! I will I” re- plied Brasser, and he blazed away and core out; nearly all the lower sash. The tattered curtain permitted Mrs‘ Btasser to catch sight of a man jump ing up and down, and she yelled: “ Theodorius, I’m going to faint I” “ Faint and be darnedâ€"boysâ€"per A Close Fit. '1) A correspondent of the Hartford Times, writing from a Swiss inn, says : “ A few days ago just at dusk, aftera cold rain had set in, two English girls and their handsome gray-haired fa- ther arrived. They were cold and dump, and the hotel was cold and dump, and as we sat; by our blazing tire and bound them go into tluir cold rooms we pitied them so much that we opened our door and invited them in to share our warmth and comforL â€"so they came in and we chatted to- gether all the evening.

We leuked at them aghast and mur- mured ‘Tired ?' ‘ Oh, no,’ they choâ€" rused briskly; and indeed they did look most revoltineg fresh and pret- ty. When we appeared in the morn- ing, their father (who always came in to breakfast from out of doom with u blast of cold air. very much as it he had slept. on the nearest glacier) announced that those English girls started to walk up to the summit of the Eggisehhorn two hours ago, and are coming back in time to cross the Aletach to go to the Belle Alp for the night. Before long they came in, brisk and rosy as usual, and withâ€" out waiting for anything more than a lunch, were off again. We groaned in spirit as they disappeared around a promontory.
